About Chana
Chana Rivka Hersh is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting and family challenges, ADHD, and other life transitions.
Background and approach
With 25 years in the field, she draws on broad clinical experience helping people navigate complex emotional and behavioral concerns while supporting practical steps toward daily functioning and well-being. Her style emphasizes a person-centered foundation that begins with attentive listening and building a trusting therapeutic relationship.
From that starting point she integrates approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment-based work, dialectical behavior strategies, existential perspectives, and client-centered techniques to match each person's goals and preferences. She has worked in inpatient and community settings and has experience with trauma, chronic mental health conditions, substance and behavioral addictions, and family systems.
Hersh aims to collaborate with clients to set clear outcomes and create a road map for change, helping people notice progress and develop skills they can apply beyond sessions. She welcomes adults seeking structured tools, insight into patterns, and compassionate support while addressing practical life challenges in Texas.
Integrating evidence-based approaches for online care
Chana Rivka Hersh commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and attachment-based approaches in her practice. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill building, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that interfere with daily life. Attachment-based work explores relational patterns formed early in life and how those patterns influence current relationships, helping clients improve emotional connection and interpersonal functioning.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. She emphasizes collaboration with clients to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve.
Online therapy with her is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend regularly, use skills between sessions, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are impractical, while allowing licensed professionals to tailor interventions to each person’s situation.
